"THE NOSE OF THE BULLDOG IS SLANTED BACKWARDS SO HE CAN CONTINUE TO BREATHE WITHOUT LETTING GO." Winston Churchill

Persistent people begin their success where most others quit. We need to be known as people of persistence and endurance. One person with commitment, persistence and endurance, will accomplish more than a thousand people with interest alone.

The more diligently we work, the harder it is to quit. Persistence is a habit; so is quitting. Create the habit today of working with your Lifestyle Coach. Create your rituals, so that you can achieve your goals and we can celebrate with you!

HEALTHY FATS ~ Oxymoron? Is there such a thing? Can you still lose weight?

“Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.” Psalm 73:23

After being in the field of health and fitness for over a decade, I’ve been pretty consistent with my exercise routine. However, I was ignorant of what constitutes healthy eating, because for the most part, I was trying to stay away from fats, as most of us are. It wasn’t until recently, that I started incorporating “Healthy Fats” into my diet. Incredible, is an understatement of how I have felt, and seen my body change, almost immediately. Our bodies know the difference! Healthy fats are a part of a healthy regimen.

What if I told you that healthy fats: decrease body fat percentage, lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of certain cancers, lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation and arthritis pain, help decrease depression and dementia, reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes, decrease allergies, increase restful sleep, skin, hair and nails, and stabilize blood glucose in order to sustain your energy level throughout the day? Would you then want to start incorporating them in your diet?

Believe it or not, you DON’T have to give up fats to lose weight or enjoy better health. The fact is that your body needs healthy fats for optimal health and performance and to maintain physical and mental health. We can change that unhealthy thinking by learning what healthy fats are, how to find them and how to use and consume them. Understanding fats and recognizing their health benefits may empower you to make life-altering changes in your nutrition plan.

Here are some Unhealthy Fats that you should eliminate or minimize in your diet: Trans-Fatty Acids: Anything that says “Hydrogenate or partially hydrogenated oils, margarine, shortening. Here are some Healthy Fats that you can start implementing into your diet right away: (Saturated Fats): Organic Extra-virgin Coconut Oil and Organic Butter, (Monounsaturated Fats): Extra-virgin olive oil, almond oil, canola mayonnaise, olives, avocados, natural peanut butter, slivered almonds, almond butter, (Omega-3): Flax meal, flaxseed oil, fish oils, cod liver oil, walnuts, most nuts, (Omega-6): Evening Primrose Oil, sunflower oil, pumpkin seed oil, sesame oil.

Detoxing Your Body

DETOXING YOUR BODY !

The Bible encourages us to draw close to God and allow our hearts and bodies to be cleansed. We need to ask him to do the spiritual cleansing for us. Whereas, when it comes to detoxing and cleansing our bodies, it is up to us to do what is necessary.

Some people cannot seem to figure out why they don't look or feel their best. Many times, it’s because they have neglected taking care of themselves. Many times, it’s because they don’t have daily rituals and a plan in their lives. However, many of us also don’t realize that our body is like a well oiled machine. If we do not properly take care of it, it will shut down.

Our bodies store toxic waste that we have either eaten, drank, or absorbed through our skin. We all breathe, therefore we have air pollution. The foods that we eat have food additives and preservatives. The artificial sweetener (very bad for you by the way), chlorine in our drinking water, aluminum in our deodorants, some make up, body lotions, etc… are all being stored in our bodies and internal organs.

Over the years, these tiny little toxic chemicals have finally taken their toll on our body and have accumulated to the point that it is often a major cause of the stubborn fat in our bodies which just won’t go away; which could also be why we don’t look or feel our best.

When we cleanse and rid our bodies of years of accumulated impurities; we help to prevent the development of future diseases, we become revitalized and re-energized, we feel better, and we have more energy, mental clarity and rested sleep. Believe it or not, we actually begin to feel young again because our body has become renewed. Body fat becomes metabolically inactive because it's doing an important function - it keeps the impurities out of your bloodstream and it protects you from their harmful influence. No matter how hard you exercise, your body will not let go of this fat until the impurities are gone.

If you have never detoxed or cleansed your body, it’s not too late. This could be one of the most important steps in taking care of your health, from the inside out!

Take Care Of Your Temple!

Take Care of Your Temple!

Looking back through the years and still today, when the journey is difficult, I always turn to Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”. As someone who suffered, yet recovered, from an Eating Disorder most of my adolescent and adult life, I never understood what it meant to “take care of my temple”. Honestly, I felt very uncomfortable in my own skin and was abusive to my body. When you have a distorted body image, you tend to make choices that you might not otherwise make, if you truly loved and took care of yourself. I have been down the road less traveled and it is a painful one. I hope to spare others of that same journey, if at all possible. My goal is to share how we can choose the road to wellness, while loving and respecting ourselves and our bodies, through the process.

Paul understood that our earthly bodies are decaying. Nevertheless, that awareness didn't cause him to neglect his body, he recognized that our body was the temple. 1 Corinthians 10:31 states “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” When reading that scripture, it is like the message is written on the wall for us to “take care of our temple”.
